Your no-tax-on-overtime deduction
Pennsylvania (2026): taxes all overtime — no state deduction.
Personal income tax on compensation
Pennsylvania taxes “compensation” — salaries, wages, commissions, bonuses, tips and similar pay — as one of its classes of income and does not allow federal itemized or standard deductions. The federal overtime deduction therefore has no Pennsylvania counterpart.
